Restaurant Style Salsa
This chunky, restaurant-style salsa comes together in just 5 minutes with the help of a blender!
Do you have a favorite kitchen item? Something you can’t live without? Something that you use all the time and if you part just a couple days without it, you’ll just die? Okay, maybe that was a bit dramatic but with this move to San Francisco, my new, glorious, fabulous Blendtec named Ladybird, has been packed away for the last couple of days and I’m having some major separation issues.
No, but really, isn’t Ladybird just the prettiest thing you’ve ever laid eyes on? Along with its sleek design and versatile functionality, this blender is a godsend! You can make anything in this baby, from buttermilk bread to broccoli-cheddar soup to spinach ice cream – the possibilities are endless!
And have you seen the illuminated touch area? With it’s universal icons, you can effortlessly choose your signature blend cycles in a single touch. Plus, the touch slider’s sensor gives you complete control to jump at any speed.
I’m not going to lie – purchasing a Blendtec Blender is quite an investment, but it’s worth every single penny. I’ve spent $30+ on cheap blenders and it’s broken down on me rather quickly with very limited functionality on cutting through ice. But with Ladybird, you’ll have absolutely no problem with that. Just go ahead and press that “Ice Crush” button. You’ll see what I’m talking about.
Ladybird can also make a mean salsa. But not just any kind of salsa – it’s 5-minute, chunky, restaurant-style salsa. Yes, it really takes just 5 minutes. There’s barely any dicing or prep work involved. So just let the Blendtec work it’s magic and relax. After that, you can go ahead and faceplant yourself in this salsa during the Patriots game!

LOVE your new blog design, Chung-Ah! She’s beeeautiful! So refreshing and better showcases your fresh recipes and inviting photography. Also, love this speedy 5-minute recipe for salsa as we eat it at our house on almost a daily basis. Thank you for sharing!
A good blender is totally worth an investment- much like a mixer! I have both a Vitamix and a Ninja for different reasons! Love this salsa, I have yet to try and make my own, but I totally need to!
I am a salsa fiend, but I don’t know I always thought it was so complicated to make–this looks delicious and so easy!
CUTE new blog design!! And I love this salsa. I use my Blendtec ALL the time for quick and easy salsa!
Salsa is a daily snack for me. This looks so good!
What an awesome blender! I’d love to have one of these…or one from the slightly more expensive counterpart. Oh well, I shall make my salsa in the food processor for now.
I would love to taste fresh salsa made in a Blentec. Sadly only an old low-end blender sitting on my counter. We’ll see how that goes.
So jealous of that blender! I want one and a batch of this salsa! For now I will settle with the salsa since I can totally make it in my food processor! YUM!
You should definitely invest in the Blendtec. You would love it, Tieghan!
